Welcome back to our monthly column in which we take a look at Spotify’s publicly available “monthly listeners” counts and compare several hundred metal bands side by side. For more on why we’re doing this column and the methodology behind it, read this.

The vast majority of bands saw a significant drop in monthly listeners over the past month, likely due to the decrease in commute listening time as millions the world over are staying home under quarantine. Bands bucking that trend seeing significant gains include Trivium, Code Orange, Body Count, Kreator, Paradise Lost, Myrkur, The Acacia Strain, Havok, Warbringer, Aborted, Black Crown Initiate and Venom Prison.

These charts now include all data for the previous three months. Over time, the goal is to paint a picture of each band’s rise or fall in popularity amongst streamers. If no figure is included for a band’s previous month, this is the first time we’ve included the band on this chart. Numbers from February were rounded for convenience, but all figures going forward will be precise. You can view the entire history of these charts on a spreadsheet here.

These rankings, it must be stated, are not comprehensive: these are bands we chose manually, and it is absolutely the case that many bands aren’t included (please email [email protected] if you’d like to see them added next month). For that reason, we haven’t numbered these rankings: to do so would disingenuously give the appearance this is a comprehensive list, which it is not.

Thank you to Gretchen for helping compile these charts!
